Qualified junior staff is an important element at KEBA, and with the practice-based training our apprentices become valuable future employees.

For our apprenticeship occupations – administrative assistant, logistics operations assistant, purchasing assistant, IT technician, and electrician, we look for motivated and enthusiastic candidates who enjoy learning new things and show interest in their career.

The training for our administrative assistant, logistics operations assistant, and electrician apprentices is done with a rotating system. This ensures integrated training according to the job description and provides a detailed view of the different departments and technical areas. Our purchasing assistants and IT technicians are provided specialized training in their departments.

The awards we have received, including winning the "Fit for the Future" apprentice training competition, the OOE Innovation Prize, and the "kNEWledge" continuing education prize in recent years, confirm that we are on the right path with our apprenticeship training. In 2014 we were recognized by the WKO OOE with the ineo award for our excellent, future-focused apprentice training.

The range of responsibilities for administrative assistants includes managing and organizing the operations for various economic areas (industry, trade, retail, transportation, banking, insurance, housing industry, public administration, land management and forestry).

Administrative assistants work in the various company departments, like administration, purchasing and warehousing, human resources and the payroll office, bookkeeping and cost accounting, accounts receivable and accounts payable, or in sales and shipping.

Depending on the size of the company, administrative assistants may work on one more of the areas listed. In larger companies, the work is divided into different departments, while in small companies the administrative assistants usually work in several sub-areas or in the overall management and organization of the company.

The classroom training takes place at Vocational School 6 in Linz where you will attend class once a week (year round) and also on Friday (for 10 weeks). More information is available on the Internet at http://schulen.eduhi.at/bs6linz/

Job Profile

Purchasing assistants are responsible for reviewing the company's needs for materials and services. They obtain quotes, perform price and quality comparisons, and are responsible for on-time supply of production resources to their company. The purchasing assistant knows the company's warehousing conditions, the supplier's terms of transport, and are familiar with the production technology. Purchasing plays a key role within a company, especially in retail and manufacturing operations, contributes significantly to a company's financial success. Purchasing assistants work with colleagues from almost all areas of the company (like warehousing and materials management, as well as production, marketing, sales, and finance).

Purchasing is one of the central areas of responsibility in most companies and one on which all other company activities are often dependent. It has also become an even more important job with increase in international networking (globalization) of the economy. The requirements for working in the area of purchasing have increased enormously; today it requires more specialized knowledge in addition to good general business knowledge (for example, about purchasing opportunities in the Internet), so that success in this job area requires sound training as a basis for success. For this reason, in 2002 a new apprenticeship for purchasing assistants was created that not only covers the current training requirements in purchasing but also offers modern general business training as well.
